30 years!

I'm officially an adult. As of right now I can run for Senate, but I'm not announcing my candidacy just yet. I'm taking a suggestions from Gene Wolfenbarger and staying up all night to ponder what I've done so far and where God wants me next. I must say as I reflect, I've got way more than I deserve! A great wife, awesome son, super family, a job I enjoy and some very good friends. So tonight as I reflect, plan, and pray, I will leave you with the words written by Phil Vassar and sung by Tim McGraw... (I will be doing my best karaoke impression sometime this weekend at a yet to be determined location)

I think I'll take a moment, celebrate my age
The ending of an era and the turning of a page
Now it's time to focus in on where I go from here
Lord, have mercy on my next thirty years

Hey, my next thirty years, I'm gonna have some fun
Try to forget about all the crazy things I've done
Maybe now I've conquered all my adolescent fears
And I'll do it better in my next thirty years

My next thirty years, I'm gonna settle all the scores
Cry a little less, laugh a little more
Find a world of happingess, without the hate and fear
Figure out just what I'm doing here in my next thirty years

Oh, my next thirty years, I'm gonna watch my weight
Eat a few more salads and not stay up so late
Drink a little lemonade and not so many beers
Maybe I'll remember my next thirty years

My next thirty years wtill be the best years of my life
Raise a little family and hang out with my wife
Spend precious moments with the ones that I hold dear
Make up for lost time here in my next thirty years
